Re: Screen Saver lock up

I have just built a new unit with a Biostar K8M800 mainboard, AMD Athlon
64 X2 4000 processor and 2 5i2mb sticks of DDR2. The Ubuntu I installed
is v.7.10, 32bit and it runs like a top except that I selected the Ant
Spotlight screensaver and it locked up immediately. If I go the GUI
route to select anything else it locks up and I loose the screen after
about 5 sec. to multiple horizontal lines. If I allow the machine to
rest for five minutes it goes to the screen saver and I get the
horizontal lines. Can anyone give me a command line to disarm this?
Thank you for any help.


Well I have a BioStar motherboard and it is full of hardware from
nVidia and it is hard to get it working right. Please check yours by in
a Terminal type sudo lspci and send us the line that has the video card
information.

On mine I tried for the nice full featured display and had the EXACT
problem your having. I am now back to the original nv in
/etc/X11/xorg.conf and I now have a less good looking display but the
crud your having disappeared.
